Les mer Learning in Real Time

What does it mean to keep learning when you never finished school? Melisa wanted to study psychology and start this podcast years ago, however, life got in the way. So she stopped school and started this podcast anyway. Learning in Real Time is a weekly podcast exploring the mind, human behavior, and everyday life through psychology concepts, personal experience, and honest curiosity. Some episodes dig into neuroscience, and others are just honest questions worth asking. There's no degree required and no expertise claimed!

episode Why Do Dreams Feel So Real? The Neuroscience of Dreaming (and Nightmares) cover

Why Do Dreams Feel So Real? The Neuroscience of Dreaming (and Nightmares)

Ever since I was a kid, I've kept a dream journal. My dreams aren't just normal, everyday situations, they are entirely different worlds, complete with plotlines, characters, and days that feel like weeks. But when I talk to my husband, his dreams are just about going to work. Why do we dream so differently? And why do our dreams feel so incredibly real, even when they make absolutely no logical sense?In this episode, we are exploring the science of dreaming. I'm sharing one of my most vivid (and terrifying) dreams, and looking at what actually happens in the brain when we sleep. We talk about the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, and why your brain's logic center shuts down so your imagination can take over. If you've ever woken up and wanted to go back to the world your mind created, this episode is for you.

episode You're Not Overreacting. You're Just Tired cover

You're Not Overreacting. You're Just Tired

This week, I jumped and screamed at my husband for walking into the kitchen, and then at my son for walking through the door. And then I couldn't make a grocery list, and somehow ended up convinced I was failing as a mom... all before the day was over. Sound familiar? In this episode, we look at what sleep deprivation actually does to your nervous system, why the amygdala gets stuck in threat-detection mode, how exhaustion changes how your brain works, and why your thoughts can spiral so fast into the worst version of everything. The feelings are real. The conclusions your brain makes? That's where it gets interesting. Quick note: Yes, I said teenagers have a bigger amygdala than their prefrontal cortex. Technically, it's more about development and connectivity than size — but the point stands!

episode Overcoming Decision Fatigue: When everything matters cover

Overcoming Decision Fatigue: When everything matters

This week I found myself feeling stuck in a way I couldn’t really explain. Not because I don’t understand what I want, and not because I don’t know what to do, but because understanding something doesn’t always mean you move forward with it.There are times when multiple things matter at the same time. Where different goals, responsibilities, or expectations start pulling in different directions, and instead of moving forward, you just feel stuck in the middle of it. It made me start wondering: why does that happen? Why can you understand something clearly and still feel like you’re not moving?In this episode, I'm talking about "goal interference," the mental load of holding too many unfinished projects, and the psychology of decision fatigue and overwhelm.This isn’t about having a solution. It’s about trying to understand why progress doesn’t always feel like progress even when you’re doing everything you can.

episode Does Life Actually Have Bad Timing? Expectations vs. Reality cover

Does Life Actually Have Bad Timing? Expectations vs. Reality

This week started with a conversation about timing. My husband was talking about how often things in life have felt just slightly off: school, work, opportunities, even housing. Like things didn’t line up the way they were supposed to.And it made me start wondering: is timing actually off… or does it just feel that way?In this episode, I think through why that feeling shows up. How we start building a story around our experiences. How expectations of when things should happen can shape how we see where we are. And how looking back can make everything feel more obvious than it actually was at the time. We're looking at the psychology of timing, how to handle disappointment, and what human behavior tells us about trusting the process when life feels out of sync.This isn’t about having a clear answer. It’s about trying to understand what we call “bad timing”… and whether it’s something real, or something we’re making sense of after the fact.Because maybe it’s not just about timing, maybe it’s about how we understand the story of our life when things don’t go the way we expected.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
